History
In the late 1940's rug cleaners in Oregon began meeting informally to solve
problems they had in common. At the same time, rug cleaners in the Puget Sound
area were doing the same. These groups then began regular meetings in Chehalis
and in 1948 the Rug Cleaners Institute was born.
Over the years the Association has grown to include members who; clean carpets,
rugs, window treatments, furniture and air ducts; repair rugs and carpets; and
restore fire and water damaged structures. Its territory expanded to include
members in British Columbia, Manitoba, Alberta, Alaska, Idaho and Western Montana.
The CCINW maintains an ownership share of the Institute of Inspection, Cleaning
and Restoration Certification (IICRC), an organization that provides technical
training for the industry.
